That's what I'm doing with my 6.6 Creedmoor and my 6.5/06. Both bolt guns, the Creed' is a Savage 110 Tactical Left-hand, the 6.5/06 is a large ring Mauser, I bought it second hand in Vegas back in 1970. I pulled the expanders from the FL dies and expand with a Sinclair Mandrel die. I know from measurement that it improved run out and in theory it should make the bullet pull more consistent.

Re: Lee Case lube question
Not to wander too far I have an 8×57 neck die for 7.7×58 Arisaka that gives me a .316 neck ID for the cast bullets going in the .318 grooves . Same deal with the 6.5 that needed to be .270 . I don't remember what die I had for that now 270WSM I think ....
I guess it's ok to mention Redding shell holders for different heights . They offer something like -.002 to +.005 or something like that .

Re: Lee Case lube question
Hi, case lube, I used Lee lube for awhile, tried Dillon lube, mixed my own same as Dillon pretty good but not there yet.
And then I tried Ezzox, feels like you could full length size with your thumb, and then I tried Slipit. I have not used Slipit for full length rifle but I am staying open to it.
When I load pistol using carbide dies I use a wee bit of lube to make it easy but so little I can't feel it on the cases. Right now Slipit may be the leader. Cheers
